I don’t know, Bob Roe was a democrat congressman in the same district who voted pro life and, after the influx of so many new Hispanic immigrants, the district is more catholic than it has been in the past. Also, Paterson has a very-large Muslim population that is pro-life and anti-homosexual. Pascrell votes the opposite of his many constituents.
Then Pascrell is a liberal like Pelosi. He has offer stuff to the Mexicans and to the Muslims that will make them look past his occasional pro-choice vote.
